1964 World’s Fair

[Jay Whittaker]

Did this as a quick shelf build, my rendition of AMT’s ‘65 GTO. I utilized the custom top option as well as the custom front lower pan, removed the split in the grille and filled-in the headlight area, resulting in what strongly resembles a Riviera from the same year. I de-chromed, shaved off the back-up lights, and mellowed-out the rear bumper to better-harmonize with the aforementioned front pan. The taillight was converted to a strip unit, and mesh fills in the grille opening. 
The body was shot in Candy Brandywine over Gold Pearl, and other than carpeting the floor, everything else was simply detail-painted.
 

This is something that could have easily been seen at the ‘64-‘65 World’s Fair had Pontiac actually done it, hence the title of this thread and the motivation behind the build.

Enjoy!

Definitely has that concept look. Great mod and nice color. I like it.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Nicely stylized. Good build.

Great looking paint finish and color. Like the Kustom body work and the roof line looks like a later model GM roof around the rear window opening and the C pillar.
